Neodymium Countersunk Pot Magnet – 32mm x 6.65mm (Slim Profile)

The Neodymium Countersunk Pot Magnet – 32mm x 6.65mm (Slim Profile) is a low-profile rare earth mounting magnet measuring 32mm in diameter x 6.65mm high. Featuring a Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) magnetic element within a pot-style housing and a countersunk mounting hole, this compact magnetic assembly is designed for secure mechanical fixing to compatible surfaces while providing a strong magnetic working face for attachment to ferromagnetic steel.

Also known as a countersunk cup magnet, neodymium mounting magnet, countersunk rare earth pot magnet or screw-fix magnet, its slim 6.65mm profile is particularly useful where installation depth is limited. Typical applications include fixtures, displays, signage, furniture, cabinetry, manufacturing equipment, removable panels and custom OEM assemblies.

The countersunk hole allows the pot magnet to be mechanically secured using an appropriately sized countersunk screw, while the surrounding pot construction helps direct and concentrate magnetic flux towards the primary working face.

Slim 32mm x 6.65mm Pot Magnet

This neodymium pot magnet measures 32mm in diameter x 6.65mm high, providing a broad circular magnetic working area within a relatively shallow assembly.

The slim profile can be particularly useful for:

• Shallow recesses
• Low-clearance installations
• Thin product assemblies
• Furniture components
• Display systems
• Signage
• Equipment housings
• Custom mounting systems

The 32mm x 6.65mm dimensions describe the physical size of the pot magnet and should not be interpreted as a pull-force or safe load-capacity rating.

What Is a Neodymium Pot Magnet?

A neodymium pot magnet combines a high-performance Neodymium Iron Boron magnetic element with a surrounding pot-style housing.

The housing forms part of the magnetic circuit and helps direct and concentrate magnetic flux towards the primary working face.

This design makes pot magnets particularly useful for applications involving:

• Magnetic holding
• Mounting
• Positioning
• Locating
• Removable attachment
• Equipment integration

The housing also provides some mechanical protection to the magnetic element, although the magnet should still be protected from excessive impact and mechanical stress.

Countersunk Screw Mounting

The integrated countersunk mounting hole allows this pot magnet to be mechanically attached using a compatible countersunk screw.

Countersunk mounting can provide a relatively neat installation because the screw head is designed to sit within the recessed hole rather than projecting significantly from the mounting surface.

This can be useful for:

• Fixtures
• Display systems
• Furniture
• Signage
• Equipment
• Product housings
• Custom magnetic assemblies

The specific countersunk hole diameter and compatible screw size have not been supplied and should be confirmed before installation.

Avoid Overtightening the Countersunk Screw

Care should be taken when fastening countersunk pot magnets.

Neodymium magnetic material is hard and brittle, and excessive tightening can place damaging mechanical stress on the magnetic assembly.

During installation:

• Use a correctly sized countersunk fastener
• Ensure the mounting surface is flat
• Align the fastener correctly
• Tighten gradually
• Do not overtighten
• Avoid impact tools unless specifically appropriate
• Do not use the screw to force the magnet against an uneven surface

The mounting screw should secure the magnet without placing excessive pressure on the magnetic material or housing.

Neodymium Iron Boron Rare Earth Magnet

Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) is one of the strongest commercially available permanent magnetic materials.

Its high magnetic performance relative to volume makes it particularly suitable for pot magnets, where the magnetic material and surrounding housing work together as part of a compact magnetic circuit.

Neodymium pot magnets are widely used in:

• Engineering
• Manufacturing
• Fixtures
• Displays
• Furniture
• Machinery
• Product development
• OEM assemblies

The specific NdFeB magnetic grade of this product has not been supplied and should not be assumed.

Magnetic Holding Performance

The practical holding performance of a pot magnet depends on the complete magnetic circuit and installation conditions.

Important factors include:

• NdFeB magnetic grade
• Pot construction
• Target steel thickness
• Target steel composition
• Available contact area
• Surface flatness
• Air gaps
• Paint and coatings
• Magnet orientation
• Load direction
• Mechanical leverage

No specific pull force or Gauss rating has been supplied for this product and these values should not be inferred solely from its 32mm diameter.

Working Face and Target Contact

Pot magnets generally provide their strongest practical attraction when the magnetic working face has close contact with clean, flat and sufficiently thick ferromagnetic steel.

Performance can be reduced by gaps created by:

• Paint
• Protective coatings
• Plastic
• Adhesive
• Dirt
• Rust
• Uneven surfaces

Magnetic attraction decreases rapidly as the distance between the working face and target increases.

For maximum practical holding performance, unnecessary air gaps should be minimised.

Direct Pull vs Shear Force

Magnetic holding performance varies significantly according to load direction.

Direct pull occurs when force attempts to separate the magnet perpendicular to the target steel surface.

Shear force occurs when a load acts parallel to the target surface and encourages the magnet to slide.

For example, a pot magnet mounted to a horizontal steel ceiling may behave differently from the same magnet attached to a vertical steel wall.

Practical vertical holding performance may be considerably lower than ideal direct-pull performance.

Pull Force Is Not a Safe Working Load

Where a pull-force value is provided for a pot magnet, it should not automatically be interpreted as a safe working load or certified lifting capacity.

Real-world magnetic holding can be reduced by:

• Thin steel
• Surface coatings
• Air gaps
• Rust
• Dirt
• Uneven contact
• Sideways loading
• Vibration
• Shock
• Leverage
• Dynamic movement

This product should not be used as certified lifting equipment or as the sole means of supporting a hazardous load unless incorporated into an appropriately engineered and rated system.

Compatible Target Materials

The magnetic working face is designed for attraction to ferromagnetic iron and compatible steels.

Suitable targets may include:

• Mild steel
• Iron
• Magnetic steel
• Ferromagnetic machinery components
• Compatible steel plates
• Steel structures

It will not effectively attract:

• Aluminium
• Copper
• Brass
• Plastic
• Timber
• Glass

Many stainless steel grades may also provide weak or negligible magnetic attraction and should be tested before use.

Neodymium Pot Magnets vs Standard Disc Magnets

A conventional neodymium disc magnet is an exposed magnetic component, while a pot magnet incorporates magnetic material into a surrounding housing.

The pot-style design can provide several advantages for mounting applications:

• Concentrates magnetic flux towards the working face
• Provides a practical mounting assembly
• Offers some mechanical protection to the magnetic element
• Allows integration of features such as a countersunk fixing hole

A standard disc magnet may be preferable where attraction is required from multiple directions or where the magnet needs to be completely embedded into a custom magnetic circuit.

Slim-Profile Magnetic Mounting

At only 6.65mm high, this pot magnet is particularly suited to applications where available installation depth is restricted.

Potential low-profile applications include:

• Signage
• Display panels
• Furniture
• Cabinetry
• Removable access panels
• Exhibition equipment
• Retail fixtures
• Product housings
• Compact machinery components

The slim format can help provide magnetic attachment without requiring the depth of a taller pot magnet assembly.

Permanent Magnetic Operation

This countersunk pot magnet uses a permanent neodymium magnetic system and requires no external electrical supply.

It requires:

• No electricity
• No batteries
• No charging
• No electrical wiring

The magnetic working face remains continuously active during normal use.

Handling Neodymium Pot Magnets

Neodymium magnets can generate strong attraction relative to their size and should be handled carefully.

Avoid:

• Allowing magnets to snap onto steel uncontrollably
• Forceful collisions with other magnets
• Placing fingers between the magnet and steel
• Excessive mechanical pressure
• Overtightening mounting screws
• Drilling or modifying the magnetic assembly

The countersunk hole is provided for mounting. Additional drilling, cutting or machining of the magnet should not be attempted.

Please Note

This product is a Neodymium Countersunk Pot Magnet measuring 32mm in diameter x 6.65mm high with a slim-profile design and countersunk mounting hole.

No specific NdFeB magnetic grade, pull force, Gauss rating, countersunk hole diameter, compatible screw size, housing material, coating or finish, dimensional tolerance or maximum operating temperature has been supplied and these specifications should not be assumed.

The pot-style housing helps direct and concentrate magnetic flux towards the primary working face. Actual magnetic performance depends on the magnetic grade, pot design, target steel thickness and composition, available contact area, air gaps, surface condition and load direction.

Use an appropriately sized countersunk fastener and do not overtighten, as excessive mechanical pressure may damage the magnetic assembly.

This magnet is not certified lifting equipment and should not be used as the sole means of supporting a hazardous load without an appropriately engineered and rated system.

Keep neodymium magnets away from children, pacemakers and other medical implants, magnetic storage media and sensitive electronic equipment.
